Sopchoppy, FL Permit Fees (2026)

Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Sopchoppy, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.

Wakulla County issues and inspects building permits inside Sopchoppy city limits and charges its Resolution 13-61 fees, so the county schedule applies here. The city's council minutes record that the county administers city permits, the city approved a county-city services agreement covering building codes in 2018, and the city books no building permit revenue of its own. The city code still has 2007 sections for a city building official and a city permit fee list, but the city has not used them since at least 2014. Before applying to the county, get a city development permit from Sopchoppy City Hall; the city's development permit and zoning fees (Ordinance 2018-02) are not published and are not included here. See the Wakulla County fee schedule

In Sopchoppy, a building permit for a remodel runs $240.00 in permit fees, a re-roof $164.00, an HVAC change-out $114.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $114.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $114.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 200 sq ft remodel area, a 2,000 sq ft roof, and a 3-ton system. Each figure is that single permit only: a job that combines trades, like a kitchen remodel with electrical and plumbing work, pays each applicable permit.

How to Apply for a Permit in Sopchoppy

Sopchoppy has no building department of its own; Wakulla County issues and inspects building permits inside the city limits at the county's fees. Sopchoppy's land development code requires a city development permit, filed with the City Clerk at Sopchoppy City Hall (105 Municipal Avenue, (850) 962-4611), before new homes, additions, accessory structures, repairs, and most other construction; get it, and any zoning approval, before you apply to the county. Then apply for the building permit with Wakulla County online through the CitizenServe portal or in person at the Wakulla County Building Department, 3095 Crawfordville Highway, Crawfordville. Contractors with an active Wakulla County license already have a portal account; contractors new to Wakulla County must register with the Building Department first, and homeowners create a portal account before applying. Request inspections through CitizenServe or by calling the county inspection line at (850) 309-3562.
